Formal announcement: MAC Blogger roundtable

I think I mentioned to you previously that I would be participating in a blogging roundtable with the rest of the MAC's burgeoning blogosphere. Thanks much to Alan at Over the Pylon for organizing this, and for his kind comments on my blog.

Since, I can't do it better, I'm going to include his comments below about each of the participating blogs. I agree with all of them except the one about the Rockets.

Hopefully, you will find this must-reading each Friday, beginning the day after the Troy game and running through the football season. There will be a couple weeks where I will be writing the questions, and I will solicit ideas from the Falcon Nation as those days approach.

Red and Black Attack: The lone representative for the MAC in the impressive SB Nation and dealing with Northern Illinois, Mike at RaBA is building a website and a community worthy of the honor. It’s a site that is well laid out, well written, and clearly a site on the way up… much like the NIU football team under Jerry Kill. Also a member of the CBS Blogpoll.

FalconBlog: BJ at FalconBlog may very well be the person who understands the best the purpose and freedom that blogs are made to give. FalconBlog brings killer content, are voting members in the CBS BlogPoll, and cover the Falcons tremendously well. FalconBlog is daily reading for OTP and should be for you as well.

Let’s Go Rockets: One of the best designed and eye pleasing sites out there in the total blogosphere, much less the MAC. The staff at LGR are loyal Toledo enthusiasts and will bring a Rocket fueled perspective to their roundtable answers. We have yet to ask them about the 2000 BSU-Toledo game. A piece of that goal post resides in my office.

Temple Football Forever: One of the most well-known MAC blogs out there and recipient of the 2007 Best New Blog and 2008 Best NonBCS Blog from the CFB Awards, Temple Football Forever is your one stop shop for the Owls. Mike, who runs the site, is far more than just your rabid fan. He’s an alum and also a reputable mainstream journalist.

Rasor on the Zips: Mike Rasor runs Rasor on the Zips, a comprehensive site about Akron so it’s aptly named. Blogging not enough? How about going to law school. Still not enough? Editing the law review. Aside from all of that, Mike keep fans and MACphiles the world over updated on the Akron Zips with a great info-heavy site and true dedication to the task.

Fire Up Chips: Kyle at Fire Up Chips runs the Central Michigan component of our Blogger Roundtable. He has coverage of games and main stories, sure, but Kyle certainly earns his bones with his recruitment coverage. For anyone looking for rational CMU coverage, this is the place to be.
